Hi @Kahm, I totally hear what you are saying. You are in the right place. You have been incredibly proactive and achieved a lot in a very short space of time in one of the trickiest times to be diagnosed. You are still very much in the frantic part of finishing chemo, surgery, pathology, recovery and radiation - all of those things. We can all relate in some way to how you’re feeling. You are going to feel done in, but then you will dig a little bit deeper and you will adjust and process this seemingly endless amount of information. Go easy on yourself, you are learning on the run and is totally ok to not be ok. My PS said to me in relation to my treating team, ‘we all have our agenda, but first and foremost is the actual treatment.’ I was very worried about reconstruction (I really wanted it), but, as I have learned, there are lots of options. I definitely know there are people who have radiation done with expanders in. Could this be a possibility for you? You may have done this, but write a list of questions - I had to as I was often overwhelmed. Take care 🌸
